One of the important perturbative ("hard") probes of hot and dense QCD matter
is the medium-induced energy loss of energetic partons, so called
"jet quenching", which is predicted to be very different in cold nuclear
matter and in QGP, and leads to a number of phenomena which are already seen in
the RHIC data on the qualitative level. The inclusion of jet quenching and
other important collective effects, such as radial and elliptic flows, in the
existing Monte-Carlo models of relativistic heavy ion collisions is discussed.
Some issues on the corresponding physical observables at RHIC and LHC energies
obtained with HYDJET++ model are presented.
Key words:
relativistic heavy ion collisions, partonic energy loss, quark-gluon plasma,
QCD jets, flow, hydrodynamics, Monte-Carlo models
